I must admit after seeing on the news "Bride-to-be goes missing", my interest was sparked; reminiscent of the Lacie Peterson story.
Now something that sparks my interest doesn't denote my lack of disgust - living in this copy-cat, 'monkey see, monkey do' kinda world wears on my frail psyche.
However, after checking my comcast news, it was revealed that this missing bride-to-be from Atlanta led the nation on a man hunt, subjected her family to anguish, and played off her fiance as a suspect in the eyes of the public. Apparently all because she had "Cold feet...", and called her fiance from a pay phone in New Mexico - not to say that she was safe and just needed some space - but to tell him that she had been kidnapped and taken to Albuquerque.
This shit is beyond my comprehension. What the hell ever happen to the good ol' fashion, "Honey, I'm just not ready for this.."? Even if you felt the pressing need to flee your city, inform your family for God's sake! And telling him that you've been kidnapped?
Yeah, no, this is more than just a case of pre-wedding jitters. Instead of a white dress, I would suggest a white jacket...
...a straight one.
In other news...
Life has been moving along at light speed, but I'd say that I'm finally learning to adjust to the pace. It's easy to lose yourself when you're busy about doing the things you love. Of course, my life isn't completely where I'd like it to be, but the journey to where I'm heading is losing it's frustration and becoming more sweet each day.
I just sat back yesterday, after a hard day of earning a paycheck, and took a moment to look back on the past 3 years. All that's happened, the beautiful people *and incredible athletes* I've come to know...I have so much to be thankful for and yet there's still that sense of unworthiness. Instead of looking at my situation as luck, I consider it being blessed with opportunity and friendships that mean so much to me I don't know how I got along without them.
I've struggled. I've questioned. I've wondered if 'my day' would ever come. Patience, hard work, and confidence - in that order. It's taken me 20 + years to learn the true meaning of those three words.

You know those weeks that grab you by the nipples?
Those days where you don't know your ass from your elbow?
How 'bout those blog entries that begin with a million questions...?
I've been so frantically busy these months that entries will come as the come, I guess.
The school year is coming to a close in 36 days (not that I'm counting), and like all good people that work for a school district, I've got a one-track mind toward my summer plans. Thanks to all of you that wished me well on my 'big weekend', it's so amazing to have someone believe in you. Everything went amazingly well, and I've never feel more excited in my life.
I'm off to Gold's Gym, the newest eye candy in Northern Sacramento, with which I've been signed up for 2 1/2 weeks now. It's like sweating at the Hilton...re-DICK-U-lous, I tell ya. Yesterday I was a bit pressed for workout time since there's been no stopping me from my new TV favorite - The Office. I realize that it's a spin-off from the original UK version, and since hearing that the BBC version was award-winning, I'm anixous to check out the other as well. Steve Carell has got to be one of the funniest son-of-a-bitches I've ever seen.

I've never been this wicked busy in a long time. I've been pulling overtime at work, teaching a math intervention class along with my regular preschool teaching.
This week flew by, but I could definitely feel every hour of it. In less than an hour, I'm leavin' on a jet plane...and I do know when I'll be back again - Monday morning.
So many wonderful things can/could come from this trip, so say a little prayer for me ;)

*phone rings*
Lil ape: "Hello?"
Wonderblog: "Is this 'Ape'?"
Lil ape: "mm, yes, this is her.."
Wonderblog: "Ma'am, I'm calling as a courtesy reminder that you're 12 days late on your last blog entry."
Lil ape: "12 days LATE? omg, how much will the charges be on a late entry like that??"
Wonderblog: *snicker* "Oh, uh, that looks like a $50 audience stalling fee, a $30 fee on 'Dear God In Heaven where did Lil Ape go?' flyers that had to be mailed out, and a $70 fee for violation of RAB - Reckless Abandonment of a Blog. Also, there's....ma'am? Hello?
Lil Ape: "..............*dial tone*................"

*PHEW* Guess I better get to posting cuz this sh*t ain't cheap! Sorry for no updates, but real life has been...well, pretty damn exciting lately.
It was so wonderful to spend Easter weekend with my two favorite girls, and this time we kicked it in the good 'ol City of Angels to celebrate somebody's hip-hop-happenin' 21st birthday!!! That's right. Bitch look good for 21, damn. Girl, thanks for letting us come down, cuz Lord knows a girl don't wanna leave once she's there!
I'm fighting off a nasty cold that's wants to kick my ass, but ain't nothin' going to hold me down this month. It's my month, afterall ;) If you don't get that, then you need to be smacked. So many exciting things are happening these next couples of months, I don't even know where to start.
Well, I could start with some chicken soup and some hot wings. *cough, cough*
